SHE SAW SNAKES -One cold day John Simmons, of Holiday, Ho., threw on to hit fireplace for bsck-lag a large unsplit oak stick. The piece had laid for long time on the wood pile, but with the exception of small hole in a decayed knot on one side of the stick, it was to all appearances perfectly sound. Simmons and his wife sat in front of the fireplace, and soon after the stick had been thrown on, Mrs. Sim. mons startled her husband with loud scream and jumped quickly on a chair, pointing excitedly at the back log. Sim. mons looked, and to his astonishment saw a snake coming out of the hole in the knot, which was on the upper side of the stick. The log had not begun to blaze up, and the snake make its escape uninjured into the room and squirmed across it to a corn CT, where it coiled itself up. It was quick ly followed by two other snakes, which al. so got away from their imperiled wintering place in safety. They were all rattlesnakes of good size, and the heat had warmed them into all their normal livehness and activity. Simmons killed the three snakes with pair of tongs. They had twenty one rattles among them.

Mrs. Logan, widow of the late senator, writing of official etiquette in Washington in the current Chantauquan, tells the fol- lowing amusing story of one of our preai- dents, who concluded not to go into tLe vortex of diplomatic dinner, but to give. a grand reception diplomatique and invite the cabinet. the supreme court, congress and distinguished officers of the army and navy to meet our foreign representatives, and to provide for this occasion bounte- ous repast that would excel anything of this kind ever given in the white house ssSoOn the hour arrived for the president to lead the way to the state dining room. None were to be seated at the table on &C., count of the numbers present. Alta given signai the Marine bank struck up the grand march to the tune of which the president was to lead the way with the wife of the dean of the diplomatic ops, when, horrors! instead of offering 8 arm to her ladyship, he coolly offered it to the wife of a millionaire, who stood under the glittering chandelier, SO covered with enormous diamonds that they lost their value and seemed a part of the twinkling pendants above her head. All stood aghast. The husband of the de-diamoned lady held no official position aud could not with propriety offer 10 escort either wife of the president or the wife of the diplomatist. But happily the secretary of state saw the blunder and with much tact approached Lady Thornton, whom be knew very we'll, and the diplomatist fol lowed with the wife of the secretary. He was man of rare attainments and charac- ter and knew what accidents the wheel of elections sometimes put into the presi- dential chair, and, therefore, charged the discourtesy to the thoughtless blunderine of his excellency. Had this occurred to g diplomat of less intelligence and culture endless explanations, apologies and un pleasantness might have occurred, .
